Thanks For Coming Out

Yes sir. Thank you Vancouver Canucks. All the hype. All the propaganda. All over. Sorry fans, but I was growing weary of it. They played one stellar game against a Hawks team that took it lightly. And the parade route was planned. So lesson learned? I doubt it. This is almost carbon copy of last year. Your captain is a goalie. Which is the biggest joke in hockey. And if you disagree and think it's cool, then get your head checked. It's brutal. And shame on Luongo for even accepting it, never mind holding onto it. Things must change in Van for things to progress. Or book your tee times for this time next year.

Rider License Plates!

I had emailed the Roughriders months ago about the chance of SGI issued license plates with a Rider touch. Well. It's coming true. Although I doubt I'll ever get any credit for the idea, it's really cool. And count me in for one. First in line! The plates will feature a logo and will read "Pride Lives Here". Really cool.

Overwhelmed

Well I've been away for a couple days. But I doubt anyone noticed. Someday we'll have 5 followers. Maybe. Anyways, it's been a crazy few days in sports. Vancouver dominated Chicago at home, and chipped away at the series, now down 3-2. Montreal seemed to be brick walled for the most part by Fleury in Pittsburgh. And are down 3-2 in that series. Philly staved off elimination, and so on.. Can't wait to see it all play out. Some other news, Kimbo Slice was fired by UFC. And I'm not an MMA fan. So did you buy into the hype on him? In football, Kenton Keith was released by Hamilton. Probably a victim of numbers, seeing Cobb emerge as a star last year. So let the rumours start about the 29 year old and most likely the most explosive running back that ever played for the Riders. Count me in for seeing him back in green. And give me football soooon!

Pushing Weight

Unreal how some pro athletes piss it all away. The Oakland Raiders released former #1 pick overall, Jamarcus Russell. Arguably the biggest bust in NFL history. Watching him play, he really defined the point that not all college stars can make pro. But. That's not the worst part. Before he was released, he showed up at Raiders mini camp weighing in at 290 lbs. And reported weighing 300 just a few weeks prior. Wow. Yes, he is 6'6". But he is a quarterback. Not an offensive lineman. Although he should maybe try his hand at that now. His ideal QB weight is 260. So it seems it was the last straw for Oakland to make the decision. My only question is, why did it take you so long?

Bears and Birds

So I appreciate the Bruins and Hawks wins last night for the sake of my playoff draft. Thanks teams. But from what I saw, either games and for that matter either series could be the opposite. But that's the name of the game. Perfection and mistakes walk the same street. And that was apparent in both games last night. Tonight will the Canadiens take the series lead? Or will everyones favourite basterd son Crosby pull his team in front? Then in the other series, I'm not sure yet if the Sharks are for real. Like regular season, for real. Anyways. Happy playoffs.

Riders Take 99

Welcome Shomari Williams to the Riders and the CFL. The Riders traded to get the 1st overall pick in the Canadian Draft today. So here's to the new LB/DE making an impact this season. Williams will wear number 99, and I can already see the jersey being popular.

Word

So after the Habs were exposed last night, do you think they will rebound? Or are they finished versus the Pens. Tough call. Just a quick shout out to all the great catches made last night in MLB. Wow, to Pena and Byrd. Crazy stuff. But thats the stuff that gets me in the mood for ball, when the NHL playoffs are still on. And what's up with Chris Bosh asking his Twitter followers if he should stay or go? Get bent.
